Examine the following:
1. I fancy a new bike
2. I try and self-justify said bike
3. I try and afford said bike
4. I buy said bike

Time from 1 to 4 can be variable.

How much harder than that can it be?

Changing from Bandit to daytona - Bandit needed new tyres... convinced myself I was bored with it

Changing from daytona to GSXR, Fitted new discs to Daytona but bits of other work needed doing and convinced myself I couldn't be bothered to do em...

:D

Considering you hail from the wrong side of the hill, your a bit too loose with them purse strings.

When to buy a new bike. In my case when the missus is not looking. she found the SV and GSXR in the garage fait accompli

I would buy a new bike when my SV dosnt do what I need it to. Currently, I'm thinking of getting a second bike as a better trans-london commuter, something upright, something fuel injected. Maybe a pointy naked SV :D

Mind you, its only a thought. I dont have the money, and having two SV's would be pretty silly, I'd be better off getting somerhing completly differant so I can still enojoy the 650s for what it is (a sporty machine) and get something really not sporty (CBF500 stares at me for this)

Of course, one day I will have to buy a honda SP2.
